Gwyneth Paltrow recently posted a casual and cozy video on social media, showing herself whipping up breakfast while lounging in striped pajamas. While it seemed like an innocent cooking clip, fans quickly speculated that the Iron Man actress was subtly shading Meghan Markle—just as the Duchess of Sussex’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, was making waves.
The video opens with Paltrow taking a slow sip of coffee while looking straight into the camera, setting a relaxed yet confident tone. She then slides a tray of biscuits into the oven, effortlessly throws in a playful high kick, and even sneaks in a sweet moment with her dog. Once the biscuits are golden brown, she moves on to frying eggs, rounding off the clip by proudly showing off her plate filled with crispy bacon, baked biscuits, eggs, and jam.
In her Instagram caption, Paltrow described her meal as a “cleaner” take on a classic breakfast, highlighting her gluten-free buttermilk biscuits and perfectly imperfect over-easy eggs. She even added the hashtag #BoyfriendBreakfast, hinting at a cozy meal meant for a special someone.
But while the post appeared to be just another laid-back morning moment, the comment section quickly turned into a hotbed of speculation. Fans drew comparisons between Paltrow’s effortless authenticity and Markle’s more polished public image. One user wrote, “Gwyneth Paltrow continues to throw shade, and I’m here for it! No makeup, no staged set, just real life.” Another chimed in, praising the actress for being a “breath of fresh air” compared to Markle. Others doubled down, appreciating the simplicity of the video, saying, “No fake house, fake kitchen, or fake personality—just your beautiful, true self.”
The chatter gained traction as media outlets picked up on the speculation, especially with With Love, Meghan facing its own share of criticism. Despite the mixed reactions, the eight-episode series has still managed to climb the streaming charts, proving that whether it’s breakfast videos or royal docuseries, audiences can’t resist a little intrigue.
